Description andrey_p 2011-03-09 15:27:35 UTC

Currently neighter manual (via entering characters '/' and '*') or automatic (through Source->Toggle Comment) methods are convenient to comment out part of the code line.

The first one inserts comment close chars */ immediately so developer needs to manually delete them. Also when entering first char of closing sequence Editor completes it to "**/" instead of "*/"

The Toggle Comment command acts on the whole source line(s) which include selection, not the actual selection ifself.
